-- HikaShop version -- : Business 2.4.0
-- HikaMarket version -- : Multivendor 1.6.0
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.28
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.38

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere.

I would like to know if it is possible to have a few vendors, each with thier own currency.

The customer would only deal with vendor in their country, and should see prices in their local currency which is the only currency for that vendor. The customer should then go to that vendors Paypal menthod and be charged in the vendor's currency.

I have tried to set this up with one vendor limit in the cart, PayPal adaptive, classic mode. The customer goes to the correct paypal account (ie the one for their chosen vendor), but gets charged in the currency set in HikaShop -> Configuration -> Main Currency, and not the currency for that vendor.

If it is possible, I'll push on with any adeas greatly appreciated!

Hi,

When the customer is redirected to Paypal, the currency sent to paypal is the currency of the order.
And to be more precise, it is the currency that the customer selected in the currency switcher.
If you do not have a currency switcher, the currency would be the store default (main) currency.

At this moment the best will be to have a plugin which will change the currency of the order (the used currency for the customer) depending on the products in his cart.
So when the customer will add a product in his cart, it will set the used currency as the vendor currency.
Thanks to the vendor limitation in the cart, you won't have bad side effect.

I don't see nice way to do so in the paypal adaptive plugin because it must use the currency of the order, otherwise the IPN validation or some other stuff (like the processing of the fees) could be affected (become wrong).

Thanks Jerome for such a quick reply and good explanation.

In our case, we do not want to charge the vendors any fee. We want 100% of the money to go to the vendors paypay - none to the main store. Does that give us more options?

Hi,

I think I lost something ; I did not mention any fee in my previous message.
I'm sorry but I don't understand your last message and I'm not able to answer it.
